Description
A preview of a pencil portrait I'm working on.Free cookies for everyone who can recognize the owner of this lovely eyeball.
I'm trying to make this portrait as realistic as possible. Every pore, every little line and shape was drawn with care, patience and devotion. And insanity.
People ask me a lot of "what's the use of drawing miniatures?" questions. Well, aside from them being fun to draw and look at, large scale graphite drawings seem to be so much easier to draw for instance!
2 hours of work so far. Mostly done with mechanical pencils:
2H 0.3mm - basic lineart H 0.3mm - selected shaded areas HB 0.3mm - strong outlines + iris H 0.5mm - basic shading B 0.5mm - mixing light with dark 3B 0.5mm - black partsFirst to guess the right answer to whom this eye belongs, gets a feature in my journal.
Answer has been guessed within 2 minutes by *isaeway 8DALSO
Might start a 3 week mini contest soon. Still pending. I have very little time on my hands, but I have something to celebrate!

I thought it was Alexander Skarsgard, too.
I'm not sure who this eye belongs to but it must be attached to a gorgeous face.

I thought it was Alexander Skarsgard - I was wrong. At least I'm not the only one who made that mistake. 
But that's just because their eyes look so much alike! Very nice drawing.

Uhm, the guy of true blood...Alexander SkarsgΓ₯rd, right? But DAMMIT. *isaeway already guessed it. So no cookie for me even if I was right ;^;
God, this is going to be marvellous. And you're going to be mad.
Uh, say, what do you have to celebrate? <3

This is wonderful! You're doing a great job so far, keep up the good work!
For some reason I want to say it's Jared Padalecki's eye but I honestly am taking a complete guess ahaha

I think you've already done a tutorial on eyes.. (haven't you?)
weell if you haven't, PLEASE DO!!! it's so pretty and I love it!! I could only wish I could draw half as well T^T
and uh.. if you already have made an eye tut.. MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!!
*no pressure, btw. It's always and entirely your choice

Now, that's a great eyeball!
I'm horrible at guessing ppl's eyes, so I have to admit that I had to cheat and look in the comments to see whose it was 
Anyways, as always wonderful work!
and yay for potential mini contest!

I just don't understand how to get to that level... It just looks so smooth. I need to go look at tutorial and draw for a few hours...

Amazing. This is great for an eye-piece alone; the fact that you are putting this much detail into the whole work is incredible. Good luck, and I can't wait to see the result!

I don't know whether to be proud or worried that I knew who it was from looking at his eye. I guess having his face all over my walls sort of helps. Matt Bellamy is a musical genius. Much love for him and your art
